And it also puts the physcians in the unenviable position of telling the patient they must pay up front, deflecting anger away from the President and Democrats.

I guess I would have a handout for every patient explaining why this is happening and try to put the blame back on Ali Bama.

- If that doesn't work, nationalize the doctors -- ALL of them.

Hopefully the cash rates will be lower, seeing as how the doctor doesn't have to worry about an insurance company cutting reimbursements and doesn't have to carry all that expensive overhead to deal with insurance companies.
